I have a problem scanning a DMR Tier 3 Capacity Max system. This system is operated by the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. There are 3 sites, (1) the site at the Summit of the Mountain, (2) a site on a lower high point called Lincoln Lift, and (3) a site at the Top of Chair 12, which covers terrain on the back side of the mountain. Site #3 is not receivable from my home due to topography. I have it programmed in the radio for the next time I get up to the ski area and can receive all 3 sites from the main lodge.
First, when I'm programming each of the 3 sites on the system in the header above the frequencies where I place the site name it allows me to program a quick key, however on the system screen where I add all the frequencies it enters a system key. I chose the same quick key for each site and so each site shows "S-2" as this is the second system of my program. At the system header the screen shows S-2 (First).
Second, the scanner was scanning each of the 3 sites just fine, from the time I programmed this system into the database. The duplication of system keys did not seem to hinder it from scanning all three sites.
Third, I can't say this for sure as I didn't write down when I installed version 23.5. I noticed around the time I installed this latest version that the scanner would only scan the first site in the program. It won't scan sites 2 & 3. I should say that I'm not scanning the talkgroups I've programmed I do a talkgroup search which scans through the known talkgroups I have for the system, plus finds any that are not in the program. I have the radio in "ID Search" as I discover new talkgroups this way on this somewhat complex system. Anyhow, if I lockout Site #1, the scanner will scan Site #2. If I lockout Sites #1 & #2, the scanner will scan Site #3, even though I can't receive this site. Each site scans all the talkgroups in my TGID lists.
Bottom line: why has the scanner stopped scanning each of the three sites? Why do I have to have to lock out 2 of the three sites to choose which site I want to receive? I didn't make any changes to the program recently as far as I can remember, but in this timeframe the software version changed. What gives?
